i dont know when i am ever going to learn. i hose up soooo many runouts by ignorance, and being out of position by about an inch at times.
below is a spread i had earlier tonight after a break shot. the kind that makes my eyes light up, i dont get chances like this too often. so, what do i do? without paying any attention i shoot the '1' Ball into the corner pocket, and stun the cue ball there. once i get down there (Point A) i realize that wasnt the shot to play. i now have a very thin cut into the corner on the '2' Ball, and its a perfect scratch into the side pocket.
anyway, i miss the thin cut on the '2', and thats that. if i would have taken 10 seconds to walk down and check out the spread i would have realized i would have needed just a little draw on the initial shot, to bring the cue ball back to Point B which gave me the angle i needed on the '2' Ball to get to the '4' Ball. just a wee bit of draw is all it would have taken!
I dont know what is wrong with me sometimes...........
